*Watch the Video Tour*

A luxurious and contemporary family home on the edge of this sought-after Exe Valley village, 8 miles north of Exeter, perfect for commuting.

This cool, contemporary house is one of five built on the outskirts of the village in 2021 and set back from the lane that runs from Silverton to Butterleigh. The centre of this pretty Devon village, with its classic cottages and lovely old church lies a short walk away with an excellent range of amenities, including a local shop, doctors practice and regular buses into Exeter and Tiverton. The Lamb Inn, a free house with a great atmosphere, splendid food and regular music nights is very popular with the locals and not too far away to wander home!

On approach, electrically operated gates, including a personnel gate to one side, give secure access to the brick paved parking and turning area and the garage, with attractive outside lighting and an electrically operated roller door. From the reception hall, oak doors lead to the respective rooms, including a generous study with good broadband connectivity. The sitting room has a very realistic, wall mounted, 'living flame' fire, which is a lovely feature for cosy winter evenings, and in the summer, double doors lead out to the patio and garden, perfect for summer entertaining.

The generous kitchen/dining room would tend to be the social hub of the house, with ample space for a large dining table for sitting around whilst chatting with the chef or enjoying a coffee. The kitchen is attractively fitted with plenty of storage, quartz work surfaces and a large island unit, and incorporates a range of good quality, integral appliances including a microwave, fridge, oven and a hob in the island unit, with large extractor over. From the dining area, bifold doors open up to bring the garden into the house. Beside the kitchen, the utility room is fitted in the same style, with a large, full height freezer, and gives access to the double garage.

From the hall, an attractive oak staircase, with glazed balustrade and concealed lighting, leads to the first floor, open landing and four generous bedrooms. The principal bedroom enjoys a lovely outlook over the rear garden and conservation area beyond, and has an en suite shower room, lavishly appointed with sensor operated lighting and a white suite. The family bathroom is well fitted in soft pink with a white suite, including a luxurious spa bath, ideal for relaxing at the end of a long day.

Our client has achieved planning consent for a ground floor 'orangery' extension at the rear of the house and a roof terrace over the garage, which would be accessed from the third bedroom and is westerly facing, perfect for enjoying a gin and tonic and watching the sun set. Please see the Mid Devon District Council planning portal, reference: 22/00484/house.

The house has everything you would expect of a quality new build with good insulation, double glazing and heating from an air source heat pump, with underfloor heating throughout the ground floor and radiators upstairs.

The established garden is a prime feature of The Cube, with a large, paved patio, giving way to lawn and beyond, gateway access to a wildlife and conservation area. This extends towards the 'village end' and is currently being conveyed to a management company, made up of the five local property owners, who have access to enjoy the land and will oversee its care and maintenance in the future.

Services: Mains water (metered), electricity and drainage. Air source heat pump for central heating.
Tenure: Freehold
